Bringing Lagiacrus back to MHW
As some may know, Lagiacrus was actually planned to be in MHW - possibly even at launch or shortly thereafter (like Deviljho) This isn’t even like MH4 where he was never meant to be in the game to begin with, here he WAS in the game - that’s a very different situation. Unfortunately, according to Capcom, they were having “issues” with his animations and rig in the game. Rather than create a new one custom tailored for this NEW game, they felt it’d be best to copy-paste his old rig to be the best solution. When that didn’t work out to THEIR satisfaction (Looked fine to me…) they decided the best solution would to be axing him from the game permanently instead of taking the time and effort to create a new one, as you’d typically expect of a new game and new engine. They’ve made changes, tweaks, and additions to the game already from community feedback. Right now, Lagiacrus may still have a chance at being brought back, IF enough attention is brought to this. For every person that’s aware, that’s providing any amount of feedback on this - be it Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, whatever - that’s one more person providing the feedback that might save him. Just simply raising awareness of this situation could do wonders. Lagiacrus being pulled was an immense emotional thing for me. It’s STILL affecting me on a very personal level, which even my closest friends probably do not understand. Lagiacrus means enough to me that I’m doing everything I can to help raise awareness of this, to try and do every little I can. I have a message on my Guild Card, I have a shoutout I give in the start and end of SOS quests, I talk to people whenever and wherever possible - any little bit helps. Every little bit of feedback helps.
I don’t expect many people to see or read this, and not everyone’s going to feel that he’s worth bringing back either; but as I said - every little bit counts.
Let's go!
